Bell Sleeve Top and Bib Necklace

I’ve been on a real blue obsession lately (i.e. last week’s peplum dress). It’s not a color I’m usually attracted to, but I have found myself gravitating to it more and more. When I spotted this fleece top during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, I obviously loved the sleeves and this peacock blue color. I knew it would be a great top to style throughout fall and when I saw the brand, I loved it even more. It is the same brand that makes the peplum top I wore the other week (see it in black here and in orange here) which is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. Add a fun necklace to complete the look, this bell sleeve top and bib necklace combo will be on repeat this fall.

With the start of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale in the books, it really has me ready for fall. After searching the sale up and down for the past week, it’s amazing how many pieces come back each year. These reoccurring pieces are typically clones from previous seasons, but sometimes they have a slightly different design. Today, I’m talking about four fall favorites on sale during this year’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

Happy Thursday, friends! The long holiday weekend is within reach now! I know it’s not even July yet, and you all are probably going to hate reading this, but I have already started to plan my fall wardrobe. Fall is by far my favorite season and by the time July rolls around, I am tired of the heat and humidity and ready for the cooler, fall temperatures. Of course, I do love fall clothes, too!

Happy Friday Eve, friends! The day is finally here, and I couldn’t be more excited to share with you a recap of Francesca Liberatore’s FW 16 runway show along with what I wore! Words truly cannot describe how excited I was to attend my first show at New York Fashion Week. For someone who has always had a love for fashion and browsed fashion magazines for the latest collections, being able to attend a runway show in person to witness these trends first hand was beyond incredible! First, a little about my look which, coincidentally enough, went very well with Francesca’s FW color palette!
For a Friday evening show, I knew I wanted something classic and chic. But, I had been searching and searching for the “perfect dress” and literally couldn’t find a thing that was NYFW-worthy. I was at my local Nordstrom store a few weekends ago and stumbled upon this cute geometric sweater dress. It was the last one {and not my size} but I figured at that point, I might as well try it on since I was running out of options. Much to my surprise, it fit! Super thankful this dress was running a size too small because it truly was perfect and exactly what I had been looking for! Besides being in love with this print, it was SO warm, which was obviously perfect for the cold temperatures this past weekend in New York!
Now, on to the show! Francesca Liberatore had a packed house for the showing of her FW 2016 collection. While most of the collection featured a color palette of black, beige and white, there were pops of primary colors, such as a gorgeous green and vibrant red. What I loved most about her new collection was the movement of each piece on the runway. Although many of the pieces were more of a form-fitting style, there was still an element of “flow” as the model walked down the runway. Without a doubt, some of the pieces I loved most were the dresses and gowns, featuring the most gorgeous details: from ruffles to pleats, these intricate details made each piece special and unique.
And Francesca didn’t just stop at dresses! There were many outerwear pieces that were the perfect mix of functional and stylish, something that is truly hard to accomplish. And how fitting to be showing all this fashionable and warm outerwear in the arctic temperatures! Here are a few of my favorite pieces from the collection:
